Compounds used to block non-essential androgen receptors are described. In particular, cyclohexenone compounds containing an alkyl group may be used in the treatment of conditions mediated by the blocking of non-essential androgen receptors such as acne, male patterned baldness, keloids, skin-wrinkling, and osteoarthritis. The cyclohexenone compound may be administered orally, topically, or internally. |
